what year R6 do you have? most of them don't have any recalls on them that is technically something that is severe and you would defienetly need to have fixed. besides the 06's airbox screws.

it's mostly just service bulletins to the service tech to check out. not anything major.
the 03 had a service bulletin to replace the coils
the 04 had one to check the front sprocket nut torque
the 06 was a buy back thing yamaha issued because the engine wouldn't hit the 17k rpm they advertised.
also the 06 has a issue with a screw in the airbox that need to be replaced.(this one is serious, the throttle can become stuck open)

that's about it.
and since you are the 2nd owner, I doubt you're going to be getting anything fixed free under yamaha's factory warranty. so be prepared to pay for the labor and parts.(unless it's the 06 airbox screw recall)
